Tennis: Rusedski makes bad start

Greg Rusedski made the worst possible start in his bid to join Tim Henman in the third round of the French Open when he lost the first set of his match against Fabrice Santoro.

Rusedski was facing the passion of a partisan home crowd who had packed Court Philippe Chatrier to cheer on Santoro.

Rusedski's volleying let him down throughout and Santoro took full advantage, launching the fastest serve in the game and going on to take the first set 6-1 in just 21 minutes.
